Congratulations  , Renegade! My "babies" are now 8 and just about 10 and I can tell you that it does not get any better than this! Having children is a huge life changer - REALLY. But it's all worth it. Enjoy your precious child. Everyone will tell you that the time flies and they are NOT wrong. You'll wake up tomorrow with a 10 year old daughter and wonder what happened to the previous decade. Now, where the hell are the pictures  It never happened if there's no picture! |

One piece of good news is that it doesn't take all that long to figure out which end to wipe first.
At that age it is both ends, as well as front and back. At least it was with both of my girls...Just beware the spaghetti in about a year. Your jokes about the spaghetti monster WILL take on new meanings. Congratulations. |

Imagine renegade talking about censorship at home after 10 years -" No TV for 2 weeks, No iTunes for 2 months" etc etc and then getting angry about Big brother censorships here in forums. Bookmark this thread. Sweet |

Congratulation Renegade for the new bundle of joy. Do not be afraid by all the comments. Today's baby are more smarter than we were. Very soon she will guide you how to use the new touch walls. My son expects a computer as obvious item at any home, and I still remember the first black and white TV, at the rich neighbor's house. Regards, Anand |

Well, I've developed a bizarre urge to not post any pictures... Odd. I've posted lots before, but now, seems different... Anyways... I've posted 3 pictures in my public Flickr photostream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryansmyth/I don't want to post them anywhere else, as I'd like to maintain control over the pictures. She's learned how to cry, and is doing very well. Actually, surprisingly well. |

Gorgeous! She's a keeper. Thank you for the pictures - I understand about the reluctance to post them; my wife and I both had a similar reaction after having our kids.
Crying sounds familiar- don't worry, though, the sleepless nights only SEEM to go on forever.

Yeah, it's bizarre. I've sent a lot of photos to family, but, just can't post them publicly. A friend told me that my perspective on a lot of things would change once she was born. He's right. Some perspectives are changing. As for the crying, it only lasts a short time. I can get her to stop pretty easily. So far... Haven't done this before, so we'll see! |

AWW She is stunning! - Its a good idea not to post publicly online, retaining full control of your children's photo's seems perfectly natural |

Hey.... Still cannot see pictures!
Edit: Oh woops--just saw your flickr link. I guess I know what you mean about not posting publicly.... I posted my daughter's full name and date of birth on my facebook wall, then felt sortof paranoid afterward... Like somebody might steal her identity or something. idk...
Anyway--awesome looking girl you have there!

Exposure to "responsibility" in the purest and most absolute sense of the word does that to you. Falling in love can do that too. But, once a child enters the picture, you can't honestly say your life is completely your own any more. Isn't it odd how paradoxically liberating that loss of personal freedom becomes? Not a bad trade-off giving up some personal freedom in order to acquire an additional purpose in life: a family. Family... Almost magical isn't it? |

Congratulations, Renegade and kunkel321. Renegade, I understand your reluctance to post your very adorable daughter's photos publicly. I confess that I didn't worry about such things when my son was born--mostly because there wasn't yet a Web.  |

Hahahah~! No... Not yet... My guess is that the random nature of pooh makes it a bit tough. |

Not a bad trade-off giving up some personal freedom in order to acquire an additional purpose in life: a family. Family... Almost magical isn't it? It is! My focus shifted entirely from my own future to that of my son's (now sons'). I lost all interest in my PhD and let it fade away over a protracted [cough]six years[/cough]  That probably DOESN'T sound positive or thinking about my son's future, but it was. I should never have started the thing in the first place; having a child brought that into stark focus for me. I wanted security, stability, and time with my son, not running like a rat on a wheel trying to get ahead in academia, moving every few years in search of tenure, frequent travel to conferences/fieldwork, late nights working on papers, research, and grant proposals, etc. Enjoy this time, Renegade and kunkel321! You *almost* make me want to do it all over again! |

She's learned how to cry, and is doing very well. Actually, surprisingly well. Congratulations!!! You'll now learn a lot more about love... and sacrifice! (sounds ominous, but you'll understand soon enough!) BTW, if you search here on DC you should find some posts I made about why I pulled most pics of my children & grandchildren from my Flickr account. Some idiot on Flickr had collections about "erotic children pics" and had linked to some of mine. Flickr's "privacy" settings aren't all that private. I keep pics that I want private on SmugMug now. More expensive but a lot tougher for people to crack. Anyway, enjoy! Life will become very interesting now! And very joyous! Take care, Jim |
